Kitano Shrine and Mikoshi Storage
板橋区徳丸６丁目３４−１６
The oldest shrine in Itabashi Ward, also known as Tokumaru Kitano Shrine. It is also renowned for hosting the 'Itabashi Tanasobi' (a traditional rice-planting ritual), which has been designated as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Japan.
History
Founded in 995 CE, it is the oldest shrine in Itabashi Ward. During a plague, villagers leaned against a red plum tree and prayed for the illness to depart, which led to their recovery. Consequently, they enshrined Sugawara no Michizane, a deity associated with plum blossoms, by inviting the main deity of Kitano Tenmangu Shrine. During the Edo period, it was called 'Tenjinsha' (Tenjin Shrine), and in 1873 CE, it was renamed 'Kitano Shrine'.
